I had just woke up. It was about 6:00 am. I jumped out of the shower and found a new message on my cell phone. My bf had called me to tell me to turn on a radio or anything because the twin towers were gone and another plane had gone into the pentagon. First instinct was to call my mom at home to make sure my dad was ok since he works for USAirways and who knows what was going on at SFO. Second feeling was pure frustration because our cable guy was installing our cable on September 12th!!!!! So I didn't have a TV so I couldn't see any visuals until classes were cancelled and everyone was huddled in the pub watching CNN. And then all of the radio stations stopped playing music all day. Pure chaos... and I was on the opposite side of the country. It's amazing how fast a university can be shut down but how LONG it takes everyone to leave.
